Cool Backpacks for School ft. Stylish & Trendy Pop Culture Prints

School rules–but it’s even cooler when you’re decked out in your favorite trendy school accessories (like your pop-culture faves). Whether you're looking for a backpack for college or high school, the Hot Topic school backpacks collection is packed with iconic pop-culture prints and fan-favorites character designs you'll love. These trendy durable backpacks are in a class of their own (no pun intended), and no locker can contain them. This curated collection may be too cool for school, but you should still go to class (to show them off, of course).

Chow down on anime as you munch your before-school breakfast, educate your classmates on the Marvel universe during recess, or flex your superfan status during exam week. Whatever your preference, and wherever your destination, load up on style before you load up with books with Hot Topic’s collection of school backpacks.

Shop ahead or on the first day of school

Have your supplies planned by June? Or are you more of a last-minute-before-break’s-over kinda scrambler? Either way, Hot Topic has you covered. With convenient online shopping that is stacked with school accessories taller than your textbooks, you can find the perfect style ahead of the school year. If you’re more of an arrive-to-class-at-the-last-second type of student, don’t worry–you can stop by any of our physical locations to browse our school backpacks in person.

Wanna save even more time? Psst…you can do your shopping online, then pick up your new school backpack without waiting for shipping. Simply order online and pick it up the same day at your local Hot Topic. You’ll get your Hot Cash Rewards either way. Back to school stress? None here, thanks!
